Charles Peace, a notorious criminal in England, was executed on February 25, 1879.
Just before his execution, an Anglican minister
halfheartedly read to him from ‘The Consolations of Religion’: “Those who die
without Christ experience hell, which is the pain of forever dying without the
release which death itself can bring.”
Charles stopped the minister & said, “Sir, if I believed
what you & the church of God say that you believe, even if England were
covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need
be, on hands & knees and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul
from an eternal hell like that!”

spirit, serve the Lord.”
